Juma Ignatius, Senior Policy Advisor, Climate Action and Disaster Risk Reduction, Disaster Management, brings our attention to the recent Mozambique floods that are often framed as natural disasters, but in reality, it is a story of global inequality, climate inaction and decades of neglect paid for by children who did nothing to cause the crisis. As emergency aid is repeated and preparedness is ignored, based on the negotiations within the UNFCCC spaces, Juma argues that without a shift to Disaster Risk Reduction, Anticipatory Action and climate-resilient development, disasters will continue to steal childhoods.
